Transceiver-to-Transceiver Cloning
The Menu system provides for cloning of all frequency
and memory information from one FT-847 to another.
The data format is only compatible with other FT-847
transceivers.
Cloning of frequency and memory data may be help-
ful when outfitting a group of transceivers for a DX-
pedition or a club activity, so as to ensure that all trans-
ceivers are configured identically. The Cloning pro-
cedure helps minimize the time required to do this.
To Clone frequency and memory data from one FT-
847 to another, use the following procedure:
•
Connect a "null modem" ("crossed") serial data
cable between the
between which data is to be transferred.
‚
Use Menu #94 ("CLN RATE") to set an identical
data speed for both transceivers (either 9600 or
57600 bps).

On the transceiver which will receive the Cloning
data, activate Menu #97 ("RCV CLN ") by pressing
the [MCK/W] key momentarily after selecting
Menu #97.
„
On the transceiver which will transmit the Cloning
data, activate data transfer by selecting Menu #96
("SEND CLN "), then pressing the [MCK/W] key
momentarily.
...
After data transfer is complete, the displays of both
transceivers will appear the same. You may now
disconnect the serial data cable and resume normal
operation.

If the diagnostic messages "RCV ERR" (receive er-
ror) or "SEND ERR" (sending error) appear, check
to be certain that the serial data cable is of the cor-
